“Mattel’s Man in Space” in 1967

Mattel’s Major Matt Mason line of space toys (battlegrip.com search) is one of those toylines that did quite well when it was new and then, as it faded away, was soon forgotten. Books like Space Toys of the 60’s* and Action Figures of the 1960s* are some of the best places to find info on the line of space toys these days, but those books cannot replace the fun of discovering a newspaper advertisement like this one from 1967. No prices? What a weird advertisement!
